I think the rule of $20s applies here. PRICE_OF_CAR + COST_OF_REPAIRS = $20,000 My DMC was in similar condition with a similar cost. After repairs, the total cost was about $20k. Keep in mind that if the clutch and brakes are giving out, that car has been *driven* and is probably in need of other repairs. I've been very pleased with my car overall.
